I think Jack is correct apout it holding paint. If anything the fire would have burned out the oils in the castings. Would make the paint hold better if anything.

HOWEVER if the fire amounted to anything holding paint will be the absolute least of your worries. Usually fires will mess up most of the parts. Castings and sheet metal will warp causing things to not fit. Seal surfaces will loose their finish and tear seals up. Aluminum and pot metal castings will be destroyed etc.

How bad was the fire and what model of tractor. If the fire was bad enough to burn the tires off and burn out the fluids I would junk it unless it is in the ultra rare category or has sentimental value.
